Slušajte dok vas ne uhvate za ..... (Serbian Cyrillic: Слушајте док вас не ухвате за ....., lit. "Listen While They Don't Catch You For .....") is the debut single by the vocal group Srpski Talibani. Released in late 2001, the album would gain an infamous reputation for its subject matter. While the tracks featured on the release have no name, they would be given official ones via the Nina Trejd official YouTube channel.
Background
On September 11, 2001, two planes hijacked by terrorists would hit World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2, with 7 collapsing in the aftermath. Another plane would hit the Pentagon and one more would attempt to crash into the White House before being successfully diverted.[1]
Contrary to popular belief, this album was not to make fun of Americans. According to Željko Grujić, who had some involvement with the album, the mention of New York burning and the Pentagon falling was intentional as it is a jab at American foreign policy, rather than a jab at Americans. The performers and singers, as well as the songwriters are intentionally labelled as it was written and performed by those who were displaced due to the war.
The producer of the album is intentionally credited to the Hague Tribunal, as they were the reason for this album's creation. The album's name sake, "Listen While They Don't Catch You For" refers to the Hague's efforts to catching former president of Republika Srpska Radovan Karadžic, VRS General Ratko Mladić, and former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milošević who was arrested earlier in the year.[2] Grujić would elaborate, saying that the Hague Tribunal were the only people who would be able to catch them.[3]
Release
Srpski Talibani was released some time in late 2001 in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Australia. Its circulation in Serbia (at the time, Serbia and Montenegro) was banned. The album would sell very well in Australia. Grujić has stated that the sales in Bosnia and Hercegovina were only because of the artist's name, not so much its contents.[3] While its intentions remained anonymous, Nina Trejd CEO Željko Grujić would do an interview some time in the 2000's to break the silence on the creation of the album.
Its first track would become a meme nearly twenty years later due to its subject matter. Poor documentation of the album would consequently raise more questions than answers. The release year for the many variants of the album are also listed as "1999" due to a bootleg copy showing a publishing year on its cassette labels. It is important to note that there are three known legitimate releases of the album: the presumed first issue with a black matte shell with blue labels, a clear cassette shell with blue labels, and a CD.
